In my opinion, overzealous brand loyalty is often more about defending a purchase decision rather than being about the product itself. I chose this product, and since it’s the “best” product, it follows I’m good/smart/competent. The louder the defense, the more obvious it’s about the person, not the product.

Yea, how in the world did you find that? 😳
Some girl in Hong Kong sent me that case and we had a lot of fun with it.

You're not wrong, but then again, people like what they like and that doesn't mean they're a case/company zealot.
I'm a Caudabe faithful and have been since the beginning. But you don't see me in this thread bashing folks for whom their cases aren't their cup of tea. Because what works for one person may not for another. And that's ok.
For instance, people gripe how the Sheath used to be so much thinner and lighter, but what I remember is how I didn't necessarily think it was that protective back then. Heck, I remember getting the first Sheath they made for the S21 Ultra, and how it was basically a skin compared to the Sheath for the iPhone of the same generation. But it felt awesome so that was the case I used the most on that phone.
I’ll take the more weighty and protective Caudabe cases of today. But it’s ok if others feel differently.

Totally agree, liking a product doesn’t make someone a zealot. But, when they jump on every opportunity to defend their chosen brand, it can appear to cross over into something else.
This is not unique to this forum or phone cases in general (spend a little time on the audiophile forums to see it taken to the next level). I’m sure this is common in all of the online communities where enthusiasts gather.

Got an Apple TW case incoming today from Amazon. Is the TW thinner than the Ultraguard ?

Im still enjoying the Ultraguard and might return the TW before even opening it to be honest as it has holes for the crossbody strap which I dont like that much tbh.

pitaka has a authorised reseller on my ecommerce store (shopee) so got it from there. this is definitely going back, the moonrise ultrathin is super slippery as well... good 3d texture but has a slippery feel

I see a gap around your power button as well. Mine did the same thing but yours probably looks even worse. Mine went back the next day. Now I’m glad I didn’t try to keep playing the lottery with it to get a proper fitting one. I was very disappointed especially for it being a $85 case. That case is a hard pass imo.
If it makes any difference, I completely forgot the holes were there until you mentioned it haha

So many cases have these lanyard holes, but I rarely see anyone with a lanyard on their phone (I have one friend who uses one, but he’s a field biologist with a very specific need). Does anyone here actually use a lanyard?

certainly not me ... those holes will attract dust and debris eventually over time... yes us lot should take off their cases every now and then to clean, but still.
